"Hy Dad , Rob.ert Lee Penne11,·was born at Van Wert, Ohio, in He moved west for his health in 1907 or 1908, settling in Rocky Ford for a while, then moving on to Ft. Collins, where ee was employed by the Rocky Mountain Bee Company. My mother, Caroline Wood, was born in England in 1889 and moved to Ft. Collins with her parents whe n she was 14 years old. My parents were married in Ft. Collins in 1909 and moved over to Ignacio in 1912, when I was 2 years old. Dad rented a box car to transport his co~q, his horses and several bee hives. ~e lived in town several years while Dad built up his bee business. I attenced the old grade school located on the same site as the present Ignacio Grade school. By 1917 Dad's business was doing well enough for him to buy a Kissel Truck. It had no windshield and no top. We built a box bed for it about twice as lortg as a pick-up bed for hauling the bee hives. Dad started teaching me to drive while I was very young. I soon thought I was a hot driver and liked to drive fast. Driving, however was only a warm weather pleasure. Before winter Dad drained the radiator and put the truck up on blocks. Harry He Junkin, Clyde Galwyck and I had single speed bicycles with small tires which we used to ride all over the place. In the su~.!!ler we were often down on Ignacio peak digging caves. I could go whereever I wanted except down town. Dad had the notion I would get into trouble if I hung around there. So unless he sent me on an errand or mother sent me on an errand with a note to prove it, downtown Ignacio was off li~its. This order kept me away most, but not all of the time. I can still re~ember the day I ~as playing a ga~e of pool in the pool hall, a definately forbidden place. I heard Dad 1 s voice at the front Just in tiI11e to make a very rapid exit out the back door. Dad and I &ecided I should go to the school of mines. In order to meet the entrance requirements I had ~o enroll at Ft. Lewis School the last two years of high school to take physics and other courses not available in Ignacio. However, none of this worked cut because about the ti~e I ~as to leave for Golden, I got appendicitis. In those days an operation was aserious thing and r2covery took a long ti::ie. By the time I was feeling good again it was too late to go to school. I started doing auto repairs for Bill Liese 1 s Garage. I got $1 .25 per day working from 7:00 A.M. till 8:00 P.M. 3oon after this ~Y Dad 1 s health began to f2il and he turned the bee business over ~o ~e. Also about this tiJ:;1e I began to notice Bessie Briggs. She lived at .Allison but sometimes visited her sister in Ignacio and attended some of our dances." · Bessie Brig.g- 1 s Grandfather Briggs moved from England to Canada ~d then to the 1;,nited States. Her father, .James Briggs, was born at H?zelhurst, }'.ississippi, and lived in Illinois and Kansas before moving to Rocky Ford. James was a canp cook for a ranch. He □arried Martha Ella Miles at Rocky Ford. They moved to Allison, Colorado, and homesteaded the Rainwater Ranch. Bessie's Grandfather Briggs hocesteaded the; place where Krs. Little now lives. Bessie was one of nine children. Her oldest brother, Elmer, and her youngest brother, Ji~ Jr., are bo~h deceased. Ethel lives in Durango, Isabel in Albuquerque, Vali in Dura~o, Lester in California, Ruch in Bayfield andO pal lives at Red Mesa. Wh~n Bessie was five years old, her mother died. The older children _helped James take care of the younger ones. �"Dad was a good gardener ," Bessie remembers. nHe raised all kinds of fr uits and vegetables. We had plenty of meat except in summer whe n there was no way to keep it. I attended school gt Allison 10 years then boarded with the J.R. Ball fa~ily in Durango to fini sh high school. I worked for r::iy beard and r oom, but was treated like a rneober of the family. I was about to enter college at Ft. Lewis when Le e Pennell and I decided to get married. 11 11 Lee and I packed our bags the morning of December 1, 1933t and took off in his 1928 Chevy coupe for Durango. The road was muday and the ruts were so de ep we almost bogged down several times. We were married by the Rev. Schur::iacher at his ho!:le . After the cere □ony, we left for the Grand Canyon . Our route went through Gallup and Holbrook to Flagstaff where it was sno·,ving hard . When we got to the canyon, :~e stayed at Bright Anbel Lodge for $ 2 .50 per night. The El Tovar was S11 • 00 per ni gnt . :'here was a road across the ?Tavajo Reservation _ through Kayenta , but we were warned that the roao.s were ungraveled and sometimes i□passaole and also that gas ~ight be as high as 50 cents per gallon . Since we were accustoced to pay 15 -25 cents, that sounded a,,,fully high. ·:te car::1e back through Flagstaff . 11 "Back in Ignacio we rented an apartnent fro~ Ray 1-alls in what is now the Peaceful Suirit Center. Later we ~oved into Carlson ' s house and finally into Lee's parent's house after they moved back to ~t . Collins. In 191+5 we traded our house in town for !{rs . Payne's place on the hill where we still live. In the old days we got only 4 or 5 cents a pound for honey . Lee used. to have 600-700 hives, ':)ut no·,., r:ai!ltair..s only about 60. H4 was the local Bee inspector for 20 years . Juring ~he ~o•s :ee served two tel'ns on the to-....m board and. in the 50's was on the school board. 11 The Pe~nels have four children. Robert is a teacher in ~as Vegas. A.,_.,_71 lives on a r anch in Oklahoca. i:·no:r;::a s ';Forks at a missile tracki:ig station near Barstow, California and Charle s is a counselor at 3ertnoud High School in northeast Colorado .
